The Falklands Islands are a British archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean. They consist of two main islands - East Falkland and West Falkland and 776 smaller islands also divided into East and West Falklands, many of which are not populated. They are famous for their amazing bird and marine mammal life, attracted by the rich waters of the South Atlantic, and due to the lack of land mammals and human presence, often easily approachable. There are five species of penguin here including King, Gentoo, Magellanic, Rockhopper and Macaroni. Tall Tussac Grass surrounds the beaches which are also home to Elephant Seal, Sealion and Fur Seal, and the islands are a birdwatcher's paradise with over 200 species including many large colonies of seabirds, the Black-Browed Albatross and Giant Petrel.
